Integrate Thunderbird into Firefox?

[conhed]

I would like to see an option that opens the Thunderbird engine in a
Firefox tab, preferably with an assignable position. Is there an
addon that does this?

Is there a project to do this underway or planned?

Thanks for your answers, and if you write addons, please consider such
a project.

Seamonkey is now using the same code & it's all in 1 package.

I have seen the idea discussed, but I don't know of anyone who is
working on the project. It's not something that I would use myself, but
it is interesting from a technical point of view.

Dave (conhed) was asking about a Thunderbird tab in Firefox; does
Seamonkey do that?

Just why would you want that, if I may ask?

I think the better point here would be its usefulness, which I for one
don't see.

I suppose it is that if TB can run there, so could other programs, such
as Google Earth, or whatever....

Yes, just go to the top menu & switch windows.

So no, Seamonkey doesn't let you open your mail client in a browser tab.
It opens it in a separate window.

[Tom J]

It does exactly what the original request was. When in the browser,
you click the button/tab at the top and open the mail/newsreader. I
think of you ever get it Thunderbird compined with Firefox, it will
most likely be the same type connection??? Once both are open, a
single click goes from 1 to the other.

Thanks for all responses. I will look at SeaMonkey.

To answer a question earlier in the thread, the reason I desire this
functionality is because of the numerous links in e-mails that I
receive that (of course) open a tab/ start Firefox, then I have to
swap between windows to continue reading mail. Switching tabs would
be much more convenient. Yes, I am that lazy! :)

Again, thanks, and best wishes to all who responded.

I'm not sure if it will do something similar to what you want but
have you looked at the "Thunderbrowse" add-on for Tbird?
It claims to " allow you to browse the web quickly and easily all
within your Thunderbird/Postbox email client, without having to
load any other applications."
